BBC aims high

Content provider BBC1 are busy promoting the latest in their ‘Test the Nation’ series.

The show will no doubt be hosted by Ann Robinson (or some other leathery C-lister) who will bark multiple choice questions at a hand picked panel of other leathery C-listers and a selection of hated general public. These will be comprised of a group of Hair Dressers (in yellow), Police Officers (in blue) and paedophiles (in brown). These disparate groups and you at home will be able to see what your IQ is by answering such questions as:

Which footballer has been morphed in the monkey like face of Wayne Rooney?
a),b),c) [insert a bunch of footballers here - i can’t remember their names]
d) another monkey

My question is - How does knowing which goon’s image has been morphed in which other goon give us any insight into the IQ of a hairdresser? Unless the real test is to see who knows what morphed means?

By the way, the answer is of course d).

The question wasn’t actually about his face, it’s his DNA that’s been morphed, but you’re right, it was with a monkey.

What’s a monkey?

(I should state a conflict of interest here, I do work for the BBC. Or do I? BBC guidelines are unclear on whether it’s a good idea to reveal on a web site whether or not you work for the BBC. Especially if your name is Ashley Highfield).

Well, I don’t work for the BBC - but I would say that this Ashley Highfield seems like a twat.

Will that spoil my chances of getting on the BBC approved supplier list? I mean it’s not like I’ve accused him of being a coke head.

I would even go so far as to say that I have seen no evidence what so ever that he snorts cocaine off the backs of Thai lady boys whilst being felated by a team of new media graduates wearing Ashley Highfield masks. No evidence at all.

Doesn’t ‘felated’ have two l’s?

It may well do, but I’m dyslexic and MS Word doesn’t have it in it’s dictionary.
